Imposing multiple language books- using same layout
1 for carrier and 1 for 16 page insert.. (2 languages each form)
Need to put slugs to identify the languages– I could use an independent page with the language name(pdf).. but was wondering if anyone knew of a text variable i could put in the comments when i print to Prinergy.. Like $Comment1$Comment2? any suggestions trying to keep the number of layouts to a minimum with identifying slugs on each form.. Ex.. form 1 will have spanish/russian F2 will have Korean/Vietnamese. any help will be greatly appreciated
 
This is the one we use, hope it works for you.

$jobname / $date / $time / Form $sig / Side $side /

You could add a variable mark. We use $TEXTA, $TEXTB etc for versions.

In Job Notes you can link the mark to the versions.
